Kagome woke up with a small yawn. The orange tint of the bright sunrise shown through her condo window as it covered her soft face. She soon brought herself up with a stretch. She got off the bed and walked slowly to the bathroom door. She took a long, warm shower to wake her up. She stepped out and got dressed. While she got dressed she turned to her alarm clock which strangely didn't beep this morning.
"Oh no! I'm going to be late!" She yelled as she stumbled down the hallway.
"Morning Kagome!" Sango said cheerfully as she was sipping her coffee.
"Sango, I can't talk I'm going to be late for class!" Kagome spoke rummaging through the cupboards of the small kitchen looking for pop tarts.
"Kagome?" Sango asked perplexed. "Your first class doesn't start till noon".
"I know, but I have to go in early to finish my lab assignment I was late for". Kagome found the box of breakfast pastries and dashed out the door. "See you later!" She yelled before slamming the door. Her roommate sighed and continued drinking her coffee.
Kagome ran all the way to the campus. She dashed down the hallways until she finally reached Mr. Monk's room. "Mr. Monk!" She yelled as she slammed the door open. Mr. Monk looked up at the girl with no expression on his face.
"You're late. I was just about to leave to go back home and sleep". He said annoyed. Mr. Monk was a very young man to be a college teacher. He was a student teacher from another college out of town. He had ebony hair just like Kagome and was put in a short low ponytail. His ears were pierced, but according to the dress code, he had to remove them so all you could see were little holes.
"Sorry Mr. Monk! My alarm clock…"
"Higurashi let me give you some advice". Mr. Monk moved closer. "If it doesn't work then get a new alarm clock". He had a small smile on his face showing he was joking. "Alright, get to work".
Kagome began to work mixing different chemicals in different beakers then without warning a door swung open.
"Miroku!" A strong, rough voice yelled from across the room. Kagome turned around in shock to see a young man with long silver hair wearing a black beanie. The hair reached to his lower back and swayed from side to side when he moved. He wore a black wife-beater with baggy jeans which had a chain that swooped from his front to his back pocket. "Miroku, where the hell is my money!"
"Inuyasha, I have a student with…"
"Don't give me that!" Inuyasha interrupted. "Where is my money!"
Miroku sighed and went to his coat which stood on a coat rack next to his desk. He pulled out his wallet and pulled out a couple bills. "Here Inuyasha, here's your money". Miroku said calmly.
Inuyasha smirked and snatched the green paper. He counted it and then spoke. "You're a hundred short". He said sternly but not yelling.
"Sorry, that's all I have". Miroku said.
"This is the last time I'm ever letting you borrow money. You never pay me back". Inuyasha sighed and put the money in his pocket.
Kagome just watched the two men talk. She tried to pay attention to her work, but she just stared.
Inuyasha turned to the girl with no expression. Kagome jumped when he noticed her and continued her work. Inuyasha kept looking at the girl as he watched her move from one table to the other. He made a small grin and turned back to Miroku who gave him a smirk.
"What?" Inuyasha asked him.
Miroku glanced at Kagome and asked. "Kagome, do you need any help?"
Kagome held her pencil as she wrote equations that she tried to see were right. "Uh, well, maybe a little".
Miroku turned to Inuyasha and then turned back to Kagome. "Maybe Inuyasha could help you. He's studying chemistry as well, but on a different campus".
Kagome began to blush. What was Mr. Monk doing? Was he setting her up? Either way, Kagome began to blush. She looked like a tomato. She never looked up from her equation until she felt someone's breath on her shoulder.
"I'll be back". Miroku said leaving the room.
"Well, I'll tell you one thing, you're doing it all wrong". Inuyasha said.
Kagome sighed then turned to him. "Then how do you do it?"
Inuyasha sighed and began to laugh. "It's first grade! Here give me your pencil".
Kagome handed him her pencil with a sad face. Inuyasha smirked at her and turned to the paper of the incorrect equation. He talked and tried to explain it in a simple way. Kagome just stared at him. He was rude and somewhat strange, but he was nice… sort of and kind of cute. Kagome began to blush at the thought of her thinking he was cute.
Inuyasha looked up at her. "Do I have something on my face?" He asked calmly.
"No". Kagome replied.
"Then stop looking at me!" He snapped.
Kagome frowned. "Well, I'm sorry!" She snapped sarcastically. "Why are you helping me anyway?"
Inuyasha smirked and looked up at her and shrugged. "I guess I feel sorry for you".
Kagome knew he was joking. She stuck her tongue out at him. Inuyasha looked up at her with a small smile. "Here". He said holding out the paper. "You should be able to figure it out now". Kagome slowly grabbed the paper from his large hand. Inuyasha smiled at her as he put his hands in his big pockets. "See you later". She turned around and saw his hair wave from side to side as he went for the door. "Hey". Kagome said. Inuyasha turned to her. "How'd you get your hair that color?"
Inuyasha smiled. "I was born with it". He turned around again and headed for the door. She began to blush again as Professor Monk entered the door.
"Thank you Professor Monk. I better go now". Kagome said grabbing her bag.
"Don't thank me. Thank Inuyasha". Miroku said smiling. Kagome nodded and headed out the door.
It was ten O' clock when Kagome left. She walked down the street quietly and slowly. She continued walking until she heard a roaring engine coming from behind her. A man on a yellow motorbike came up to her. The man took off his helmet as his long, silver hair fell to his back again.
"Need a lift?" Inuyasha asked kindly. Kagome looked up at him and moved her head slowly.
"No thanks. I'm fine" She said as she continued walking.
"What the hell!" Inuyasha snapped.
Kagome turned and frowned. "Excuse me?"
"You know, I go through all this trouble to…"
"It's a metal death trap!" Kagome snapped. "You know how many people die from those things!"
Inuyasha smirked and handed her his helmet. "Come on". He said kindly.
"No". Kagome said and continued to walk handing him back the helmet.
Inuyasha sighed. "You know I'm trying to be a nice person!"
Kagome stopped and turned to him. He had a sad and pity look on his face like a cute, little puppy. She sighed and walked over to the stubborn boy.
"Great!" Inuyasha said handing her the helmet. "Now hold on to my stomach".
Kagome looked at him. "I'm not going to put my arms around your stomach!" Kagome snapped.
"Fine, hold on to my shoulders, bitch!" Inuyasha said.
Before Kagome could snap the bike was roaring down the streets. She screamed and had no choice but to hold on his stomach or else she would've fallen. Inuyasha smirk as he drove down the road.
